The Olde Young Tea House in Middlesbrough

Fresh , tasty and served exquisitely. I've visited here several times and it's a beacon of quality and charm in amongst the over priced coffee chains and ' caffs' in the town centre centre. I had the mashed avocado with poached eggs . The bread was fresh and top quality and the avocado was fresh and generously prese.ted with two perfect poached eggs . The balsamic swirls and chilli flakes set it all off perfectly .

Lovely little tea shop with a decent varied menu for both adults and kids. Fast service and reasonably priced food, would definitely return for afternoon tea/cake next time!

5 out of 5, service with a smile, punctual, pleasant and nice food and drink. Prices are reasonable, clean and tidy. Would certainly come again.

Absolutely awesome little spot. A friendly welcome to an oasis of calm, good tea, good food and old time style. Loved my visit. I can't recommend enough. Tucked away behind scaffolding at the moment so I almost missed it.

One of my favourite cafés, brilliant staff who are really helpful if you have any allergies/intolerances. They have a massive selection of teas but also lots of other options if you don't like tea. But most importantly they have some absolutely gorgeous cakes, I can't stress this enough I brought some work colleagues in who were visiting from London and they absolutely loved everything they had, particularly the cake!

We popped in here for lunch by chance when travelling to watch Coventry play Middlesbrough (the cafe is 20 minute stroll to the Riverside). The staff were very friendly and the cafe was spotlessly clean and nicely laid out. The cafe has lots of charm character and also has a nice laid back homely feel. We ordered lunch off the menu and the food was amazing and very reasonably priced. The afternoon tea looked fantastic, so I hope we will be able to visit again soon! A lovely independent cafe and a must visit in Middlesbrough. Thank you for your hospitality and excellent food. The Warner family.

popped in for a coffee. Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff,lovely food and drink. Family of 6. All different orders, came quickly. 🙂

When I am in Middlesbrough I often stop at Baker Street for lunch. I was passing the Tea House and thought I’d try it for a change. Very impressed! My avocado and egg on toast was perfect. The panini for my mother seemed really good. Tea for me and a latte for her. Staff friendly, helpful and pleasant. Clean, good food - will definitely be back.

Had a hankering for something sweet so popped into The Tea House and got some slices of cake to take away. They have a really good choice of treats - the cake was light, fluffy and delicious!

Lovely services, delicious healthy options and large selections of teas and coffees to pick from! A change of scenery, a tea room NOT a greasy spoon!

Love this place, the cake, the food and the staff. Had a mystery box delivery this weekend and it is second to none. Highly recommend 💜

We had a large mystery box delivered at the weekend. A lovely treat of cakes and specialty teas. I would highly recommend ordering from here. Very easy to place order. Cakes were amazing. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be ordering again.

I came here with a friend and our two daughters for afternoon tea after a recommendation by another friend. What a treat! Beautiful selection of cakes, scones and sandwiches and the refill hot drinks went down a treat! The girls loved their hot chocolate and we loved trying the different teas available. Looking forward to being able to treat my mum and sister here once lockdown has ended. A lovely little gem of a cafe, have recommended to others and we will definitely be back!

I ordered the large mystery box to be delivered last week and honestly, best cake I've ever tasted. It was so light and so delicious!! Fantastic selection of tea and cakes. Delighted! Will definitely be a regular now

Ordered a large mystery tea and cake box. Looked and tasted great! Range of cake flavours and toppings and different flavoured loose leaf tea. Will definitely be visiting tea room once lockdown over 😋 Ordering and payment was easy and delivery fee was reasonable too.

Excellent home delivery service. Ordered mystery box - got 4 cake slices, 2 cup cakes, brownies & tea! Delicious. And a great way to support local small business in the lockdown.

Ordered one of the mystery boxes and the cakes were amazing, as usual really great professional and friendly service 👌

Order a large mystery box for my parent birthday and they absolutely loved it! Lots of gorgeous cakes and goodies, plus a range of teas as well! Lovely staff, great service, and a greater filler until lockdown ends and we can visit in person again!

My family ordered a mini cake to make us smile in lockdown, and it did not disappoint. Collectively, we decided on a malteaser and peanut butter chocolate cake, and honestly, I was so sad when we finished it because it was so delicious. The cake came within the timeframe, and was even double-layered with chocolate cream and peanut butter. It was truly fantastic, absolutely no complaints. Will definitely be ordering more things during the lockdown, we miss the Teahouse so much!

Been in here a few times and the staff have always been super friendly - letting you smell all the teas and making you feel welcome. Recently had a birthday cake as well from the Tea House and it was the best thing I've eaten in a good while, hats off to their bakery skills.Out of all the great local businesses in Middlesbrough this one definitely stands out and shines!

The tea house looks very attractive, distinctive and independent.I dropped in at 11 on 5/03/2020 for brunch.Lovely service and help making sure that the bread was milk free.I ordered an americano and avocado on toast with a poached egg.Coffee was lovely.The food arrived. I was surprised to find that the bread hadn’t been toasted and the plate was icy cold.I pointed this out and the lady explained that some clients don’t want their bread too hard. The bread hadn’t seen a toaster, cold and limp. She went back into the kitchen.A little while later she came back for the plate of food.Then she returned with the old food transferred to a warm plate and a seperate plate with toast on.I moved the toppings myself to the toast on the warm plate. By now the egg was lukewarm (at best) and I had finished the coffee.I noticed that the waitress/cashier had same blue gloves on at all times I was there.Another member of staff arrived and dragged her scooter through the dining space.How they got Trip Advisor awards is beyond me. Obviously a different chef and staff.

I went in on a weekday expecting it to be quiet but it was actually fairly busy. The women who served me was really nice and friendly. I had a coffee and I wonderful cake. I recommend to anyone nearby !

We had a stop here in between some sales shopping earlier in the month. There is a good range of lunch type food (one of us had an omelette which was a good size portion), a choice of several cakes (the Victoria sponge was delicious), a vast range of teas, but in my opinion the hot chocolate was the star of the show-it was smooth, and rich, and completely chocolatey (not just hot brown water like you can get in some cafes).

Not worth the price or quality. Visited at the weekend and staff unable to cope with numbers. Shame as good location

This place has an amazing array of teas to choose from on display and to purchase. You cane even get tea strainers etc to go with it. I had a Halloween spiced tea and it was delicious. Very chai like. Also had a slice of vanilla cake which was an absolute dream. Fresh, moist and tasty. The tea room has nice decor and is cosy. It's always busy which is a good sign. Prices are reasonable/average. Service was quick. I'd been twice before but when it was under the name of old young tea room or something. Not sure of it's changed hands as decor and teas were there on previous visits. Either way its been a lovely place for cake and tea everytime I've been so if it has changed hands there has been no drop in service. It's quite small so not much space and if you want to view the teas can feel a bit awkward if people are sat in front of them but due to size it's the only way it can be done. Wheelchair accessible.

We went for afternoon tea for my mother's birthday. We have had afternoon tea here on numerous occasions under the old owners. The menu description hasn't changed but the price has increased by 30% from & 10 to £13,and the size, presentation and quality has gone down. Couldn't complain about the cake and tea, both were delicious, but the sconr was, cold, dry and hard and did it not come with all advertised toppings. The sandwiches were terrible, extremely meagre. I ordered cheese and chutney which had a smear of chutney on each of the squares and a very thin shaving of cheese, and a scraping of cheap margarine. The bread, cheese and chutney were delicious but they were just very stingy portions and poorly presented. Really disappointed as they were always fabulous when we've had them in the past

Visited with my wife last week and the place was really welcoming. The staff are great and the service was first class.

Always loved the teahouse. It changed ownership a while back, but I can honestly say it’s just as good if not better! Often come with my friends for afternoon tea, the cakes and scones are freshly made and always delicious! Super friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere to sit, drink tea and watch the world go by!

My all time favourite shop ❤️ The food , quality, quantity , taste , welcoming and friendly behaviour, cozy weather just the way I like. PERFECT 🥰

I still love the place. Nice and cosy. Friendly staff not much change most of the staff are the same. Please give me a time don’t judge quickly, they always listen to their costumer. I have always had a great service and they are trying to introduce new items to the menu. All the best.

Service ridiculous, kept feeling like the staff were rolling their eyes at us making orders, enquiring etc won't go back, immature staff

Lovely This place never changes good atmosphere and helpful staff Best place in Middlesbrough for a sandwich and cakes

We have visited on a regular basis & this time will be our last. The place itself is looking tired, scones were not homemade & hardly any cakes available on a Saturday afternoon. Very disappointing

Sandwich advertised as on a ‘white bloomer’ and came looking like this - for nearly £5 I’m sure anyone would have been disappointed to be presented with this. Even just a bit of coleslaw and salad would have made it a bit more bearable. Only ate it as we were in a rush, didn’t have time to complain and were starving.

Lovely friendly, ‘quaint’ tea room. Food was made fresh to order and properly brood tea. Homemade cakes were really nice. It is great to have an alternative to the usual coffee houses that are taking over the world.

Tea galore, great cakes, great staff! If you're in central Middlesbrough at anytime of the day then this place is a must!

Boy do these ladies make incredible cakes! Always such a good selection, they make them look so appetizing and every cake I've had from here has been delicious.

Came here at the weekend with my Mam. This place came recommended from a friend who said it was really nice.

My daughter and I are regular visitors to this cafe and the food and the service are always excellent, however the cafe is often cold and would definitely benefit from turning on the heating.

We used to visit most weekends as we love the cake and tea. It was one of our favourite places, especially in Middlesbrough.

Went here with 2 friends and two people out of three ordered afternoon tea. Unfortunately, they weren't able to use the unlimited drinks stated on the menu, due to the third person not ordering the afternoon tea. The staff specified that this was because they couldn't monitor the drinks - and we 'could be sharing'. However, this was not specified before payment was taken and was not on the menu or on any sign in the shop. As the items would be cheaper individually, the whole selling point of afternoon tea is the unlimited drinks, which we were not allowed. This is akin to nandos not letting people on a table have unlimited drinks because one member of the party only wanted water!

Fresh cakes sandwiches and scones, and a variety to choose from. Bargain for afternoon tea and unlimited tea is a winner for me.

Gorgeous cakes, great tea and superb service. The best independent in Middlesbrough and by far the best place in town

Eventually got into here after three attempts. Really great place and superb selection of traditional cakes.

Great location close to The Cleveland Centre shopping. Fabulous cakes... difficult to resist and all those speciality Teas to see on display.... and try of course!!!!!

Really good value afternoon tea, the sandwiches are freshly made and the scones and cakes are delicious. It is billed as a tea house but the coffee comes from a tassimo machine so I think that is fine ( I really dislike instant coffee so tassimo is a good alternative) they actually have an amazing selection of teas. Would have definitely given 5 rating if they had an espresso machine.

The most gorgeous place. Lovely staff, cosy atmosphere. Very good value afternoon tea, couldn't eat it all! The cake was especially delicious but all wonderful. Too many teas to choose from!

I cant believe a review ive just read saying the staff weren't very nice we went in today for afternoon tea a xmas gift from granddaughter the girls were very polite and it was busy but ordered our sandwich scone and cake and our drinks which were replenished as many times as wanted didnt wait long for our tea by time we eat our sarnie and scone we were full

Really nice little tea house with good service and cakes to die for. Mango tea was really nice also. I am in and out of Middlesbrough and have my favourite places, but this was a first visit. Will be returning.

My Mam and I visited your tea house on the 10th March for a Mother’s Day treat, after outstanding reviews by a work colleague commenting on your afternoon tea. I’ve bought cake to take out previously and I wasn’t disappointed so I had high expectations for my visit.

Visited for my birthday afternoon tea very cheap and get to pick your own cake scone was beautiful and kids sandwiches great will definitely return

Visited this lovely little Tea shop with my daughter last Sunday and it was wonderful as always; to be fair we have visited many times but this was the first time on a Sunday. It was a lovely quiet atmosphere and we were seated immediately. Sandwiches were fresh made and delicious, served with a small portion of hand cooked crisps and a pot of Yorkshire tea. As we were served tea, one of the lovely tea ladies told us about other decaf varieties and let us smell them all. Such a lovely tea shop serving lovely fresh sandwiches and an array of delicious looking cakes. My only criticism would be that I would like to see the cakes and scones covered as they are so close to everyone that comes to the till. Definitely worth a visit

Whilst home for Christmas I decided to drop in here with my girlfriend, after hearing lots of good things about the place. We were shown to a table and then a lovely enthusiastic member of staff talked us through the teas letting us sniff lots and giving recommendations. We were made to feel really welcomed and relaxed. Once we decided on our tea, which is difficult, we selected cake. There was plenty of choice, even for my girlfriend who is dairy intolerant. The tea and cake were both exceptional, as was the service. I'm definitely making this a regular stop off whenever back in Boro.

Called in for a quick drink whilst out shopping in Middlesbrough. Although a small venue, the atmosphere was nice and tea,coffee and cakes were lovely.

Ce petit restaurant dans une rue adjacente du centre ville est un endroit chaleureux. La décoration et le mobilier typiques sont une invitation à voyager aux couleurs de l'Angleterre. On y retrouve tout un ensemble de pâtisseries maison et une très grande variété de thés. Il est important de réserver afin d'être assuré d'avoir une table. Le service est à l'image de ce petit restaurant, chaleureux et authentique. La formule pause d'après-midi est intéressante car, pour 12€, elle comprend une pâtisserie, un scone et un petit sandwich ainsi que l'accès à l'ensemble des thés (boisson à volonté). Dommage que les brunchs ne soient plus proposés. On peut également y acheter du thé en vrac si on le souhaite. Excellente adresse (végétarien et sans gluten bienvenu).

We’ve visited here a few times and have always really enjoyed it! As you would expect the cakes are exceptional and the afternoon tea is one of the best in town for choice. The service is extremely relaxed and can sometimes be a little slow but if it is they always try to make up for it.

I live this place for its tasty menu, and teas. They blend their own, which makes the whole experience an original even if you want regular breakfast tea. But the stars of the show are the cakes....

This is evidently popular and busy. It's a real delight, great range of cakes and teas. It's a gem. It's got a real buzz to it.

Were greeted with the news that they shut in 55mins and afternoon tea was finished.

From the wide selection of sandwiches, cakes and teas to the warm and cosy atmosphere, this independent tea house in Middlesbrough is a must visit.

mum had the cheese and chutney sandwich with the chutney on the side and a latè, i had the shredded gamon in hunny and mustard sandwich with a pot of tea omg seriously good.

This is my all time favourite place to eat in Middlesbrough-and in general! Everything is amazing about it... The furniture, how it's decorated, and the food is just insanely good. As a vegan, I can still happily get a great bite to eat here. The hummous and sun-dried tomato bagel is delicious and there is still so many other veggie options too, as well as meat. There is also a 'vegan friday' where they serve vegan cakes (as seen in the photo). The cupcake was the best I have ever had. It is undoubtedly the best place to go if you're in town.

A cosy tea house with nice decor, and furnishings that make you feel as if you're within an old tea house. Service was great as was the menu, the scones in particular were fresh and tasty. There was a good selection of teas and the prices were very affordable. All in all a good place to either have afternoon tea or just to relax/get a bite to eat, I even saw some people having some sort of business meeting there!

There is a deliberate old-time atmosphere about this place - that wallpaper !, those lampshades !, not to mention the waiting staff's retro fashions. It avoids being too chintzy by having a thoroughly modern attitude when it comes to the tea and food on offer. An excellent pot of tea with no teabag in sight, along with a splendid sandwich - shredded gammon in honey mustard for me, served with a nice bit of side salad. It is also well modern when it comes to such things as wifi connections, leaflets and magazines concerning local events and even the background music which is a well chosen selection of recent releases. Somewhere to seek out should you find yourself in Middlesbrough. I assume the people of the town already know all about it.

I visited the Tea House today with my little dog for afternoon tea. A friend had bought me a voucher for my birthday & I had phoned beforehand to see if dogs were welcome & was pleasantly surprised to find that they were!I can only describe my afternoon tea as perfect! Beautiful gammon & honey sandwiches, popcorn & caramel cupcake, fruit scone with jam & cream with a lovely cup of Earl Gray tea! We were made so welcome & my dog just laid down in the corner & no one even knew he was there!It is very rare to be made welcome in food establishments with a dog. People use the fact that food is served as a reason why dogs aren't allowed in when actually this is not correct. It is up to the discretion of the proprieter. I would like to thank the staff who were so pleasant & made our visit a lovely experience!

This is a lovely place to go for afternoon tea. Huge selection of teas, homemade cakes and fab sandwiches. Very quaint decor and staff are lovely, nothing is to much trouble.

I visited for the first time and Loved it here, I had the Afternoon Tea and it was so tasty. . I will definitely be going back. (£10 - it included choice of sandwiches, choice of scone, choice of cake and unlimited tea)

Came here for a mini birthday lunch for my partner's 21st and could not fault the food or the staff! Really cosy friendly feel with lovely food at great prices. Will definitely be returning! :)

Visited here with my daughter for afternoon tea. The sandwiches and cakes were delicious and we were supplied with endless tea. It was as good as any afternoon tea I have had elsewhere and for a fraction of the cost. The staff were really welcoming and pleasant. Overall a really enjoyable afternoon.

Had lunch and coffee, great to find somewhere that does bagels as well as sandwiches! Warm welcome and friendly service, the coffee and food was quick to come. Gluten free was no problem. Don't come to Middlesbrough often but would visit again.

Visited with a friend and her young son. Very friendly staff, lovely stylish interior and most importantly amazing cake! Will definitely be back.

We love this place! The home made cakes are delicious! We paid as a celebration and for 14 people for have drinks and cake of their choice and paid £50 for it all, so not too bad! The tea cups are all different as are the chairs and tables. It's all so cute! Go visit!

Really pretty café with tempting cakes, scones, pastries and interesting brunch selection. Very good service, tasty food, great atmosphere but badly let down by the coffee. I know this is primarily a 'tea' shop but with so many places springing up in Middlesbrough then a proper coffee machine would help to keep up with the competition. There really is no excuse for the slightly sweet, sickly taste of a latte from a push button machine....oh, and the toilet door didn't lock either - 'interesting' way to meet people!

Called in for a break from shopping although a tad expensive I must say the tea and sandwiches were delicious. Lovely surroundings and pleasant staff.

Came here for afternoon tea with my little boy. Food was delicious and you got plenty of options. Fantastic value for money and would definitely recommend this place to people. The only down side is down the side area of the restaurant is a little cramped.

I can't understand how it would take over half an hour to serve a piece of quiche (lukewarm when it arrived) and a small baked potato!I also struggle to understand how an outlet called the TEA house, boasting hundreds of different teas cannot offer a slice of lemon to go with a cup of Earl grey

Went for afternoon tea with my daughter last week, the ladies were all lovely and the sandwiches and cake were Awesome!

Me and my boyfriend love afternoon tea, we have tried many afternoon teas and this by far has got to be our favourite place to visit! We come as often as we can. It is a lovely homely tea house, that is very decently priced. The staff are very friendly, who are happy to help. Everything is home made and always have a great selection to offer. This tea house have an extensive loose tea selection, afternoon teas come with unlimited tea, allowing you to try as many as you want.I recently brought my grandad, who hadn't left the house in a year due to ill health. I rang and booked a table, the staff were very helpful. I let them know we were bringing a wheelchair, when we arrived the table was perfect. Plenty of room for the wheel chair, staff were very happy to help. My grandad had the most amazing time and ended up picking about five different cakes and scones to take home to enjoy later. I want to thank you for making my grandads first trip out so successful and enjoyable, he hasn't stopped talking about it. We will be returning! If you love tea and cake, this is place is a must visit. Couples, families and by yourself.

What we disliked and liked about The Olde Young Tea House on our second visit.DislikedWe don't like recycled jam jars for serving water in. We understand using vintage crockery but tumblers aren't that expensiveThe coffee. Ok, so its a tearoom but my wife orders coffee, which she said was tepid. Also served without a spoon.Food service was too slow considering the place wasn't very busy.Having to go and ask for the cake we ordered to be served.LikedThe staff were friendly.The tea.The sandwiches. I had coronation chicken on white bread. Tasty and the bread was really fresh.The cake. Actually we LOVED the cake - blueberry and Earl Grey.The cake turned an 'average' rating to 'very good'.

Always love visiting the Tea House. Everyone is always very friendly and the atmosphere is quaint and relaxing. The best bit, of course, is the cake. There is always a great selection of delicious cakes. I often just pop in to take away some cake for the office. Definitely, recommend taking some time out and visiting the Tea House.

Great venue, friendly staff, nice atmosphere and wonderful afternoon tea with unlimited tea refills. Would definitely recommend :-)

My son took me to this place for a cup of tea and cake I didn't even know about this little jem what a find with every flavoured tea and coffee and home made cakes and scones very tasty not good if your trying to loose weight very old English style love it and will most definitely will be going back

Love treating myself to Afternoon Tea with my husband now and again - with unlimited refills of tea and you can try a different one each time its hard to choice. Girls are always really pleasant and always willing to advise on not only the teas but the scrummy cakes.

Visited this tea room with friends from work the staff were lovely and the food was very good my only concern was the place was really cold it would have been more pleasant in the warmth.

My manager arranged a meeting here with staff. I arrived into a wonderfully set out tea room. Staff were very accommodating. There is a display of cakes which melt your eyes to look at. You suddenly become that child in a sweet shop. A selection of coffee with a fantastic range of flavoured teas. Available to buy too. Parking nearby in the Cleveland Centre opposite at £1.50 for 2 hrs. You can't go wrong. Oh and by the way..... love the music theme.

Popped in here on a Saturday lunchtime to have a quick cuppa and a bite to eat. Service was spot on and the sandwiches a little on the small side but very tasty. Very large pot of tea with small old fashioned cup meant at least fours cups each.

I used to go here on a Friday with my daughter because they catered for vegan afternoon teas. It was a real treat to be able to go here as the food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. I really enjoyed all the different tea flavours they serve. However once a week is now maximum of once a month and I am so disappointed.

Visited a few time and there is always a good atmosphere ( unlike costalot) , fresh cakes are next level . Only place to go in boro.

Quirky cafe with welcoming staff and atmosphere. Had a tuna & red onion sandwich which was tasty and an Americano coffee. There's a variety of lovely looking cakes, cupcakes and scones. Unfortunately I was full after my sandwich to sample one, maybe next time.

It was so amazing! The tea the cakes the atmosphere. I regularly visit on my travels and will keep going as I am always amazed with class of service.

I come here once a month with the girls for the afternoon tea fresh produce unlimited tea and a wonderful atmosphere with friendly staff my all time favourite tea house

As usual first class friendly service lovely food quite and relaxed atmosphere a stress breaking haven a delight

Popped in for a cup of tea and a piece of cake while our Xmas shopping wasn't disappointed cake was delicious , sone people were having afternoon tea with cakes scones and sandwiches, this looked amazing also for only £10, would highly recommend

Absolutely gorgeous afternoon tea served here, the food is amazing, atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming, service is excellent. great location, would highly recommend

You wouldn't expect to find a cute little tea room like this in the centre of Middlesbrough however I recommend driving into town, parking up and finding it. For £10 each you get an excellent afternoon tea, it was all delicious, the sandwiches, the scones and particularly the cakes are out of this world. Thumbs up from me!.

A lovely old fashioned tea shop. The cakes were amazing, with such a wide variety of tea to choose from served by the mug or in a proper tea pot with China cup and saucer.The staff were very friendly and informative about the different teas on offer.I have recommended this shop to all my friends and will be going there again.

Yesterday at 4.15 we were given the menu. We asked for afternoon tea to be told we have now stopped doing it, but you can have a sandwich. Don't understand if you can have a sandwich and there was plenty of cake on the counter why couldn't we have afternoon tea? Disappointed and we left.

I visited the tea shop with four colleagues in the lunch break from the local court, so time was of the essence. We asked the waitress if they could serve us with sandwiches and pots of tea quickly as we had limited time. The service was excellent and the food tasty and very reasonably priced. Will go here again.

I have been here a few times with my friends and always have a fantastic time! I love the vintage/rustic style of the tea shop!Afternoon tea is incredibly reasonably priced and you get a sandwich, a scone with jam and cream, a choice of delicious cakes and unlimited tea! On entering the shop, long shelves with huge jars of different teas is the first thing you notice - the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and are happy to help you choose a tea, however, they are also equally happy for you to take the jars down, have a look and a smell and decide yourself! Or order more than one at a time so you can try them!I would definitely recommend people visit this place, but make sure you book a table and also that you put plenty of time to one side to make sure you get the full tea-tasting-cake-munching experience!!

The cakes and scones from here are so delicious. Moist and good portions!! Afternoon tea is fab and the cheese and chutney sandwiches are beautiful. I dont usually like chutney either!! Weve had around 5 cakes to take out for bdays etc too and they stay fresh and always go down well. Consistent high standard and ready on time. Im truly happy ive found this little slice of heaven!!
